The publio policy of Oregon re quires that competition Bhall be Invited, through advertising. In all contracts entered into by mu nicipal corporations. This policy is designed to safeguard, so far as possible the expenditure of public funds. Because the contract entered In to by the Ochoco irrigation district of Crook county with the Twohy Brothers company for the Im provement of the district, was not preceded by an advertisement for bids, as required by the Ore- son statute, tbe company has no legal claim upon the dlfltrict for the payment of money alleged to be due for service or supplies fur nished. So Justice Brown, of the su preme court, holds in an opinion handed down by the supreme court , today in which the decree of Judge Tucker of the Multnomah county ircult court In the case of Twonr Brothers vs. the Ochoco irrigation district, Is affirmed. ELOPIITS Another chapter has been writ ten in the romance of the elope ment of Edria Turptn of Roso- burg, and James Henry Coon of Dallas, who secured a marnaga license in Salein Thanksgiving morning and were married in Dal las that afternoon. Mr. Coon and his mother ap peared in the office of U. G. Boyer, county clerk, this morn ing and Inquired whether the father of the bride had brought any proceedings to annul the mar rlage. It seems that the father of the present Mrs. Coon was In Dallas yesterday to investigate Just how It happened that the girl secured marriage license when she was scarcely over 17 years of age. Rather than start any trouble It is understood it was agreed 'that the girl should visit her home in Uoseburg for a week or two and she returned yesterday with her father. The bridegroom is living with his mother in Dallas, and the young man who swore that Miss Turpin was over the age of 18 and that she lived in .Turner, is also a resident of Dallas. It is fortunate that most people who are mentally blind are not heartless at the same time. PUBLIC mom MUST! Of BIDS CAUSE OF WORRY
